The Bishop of Pune, Thomas Dabre learnt about the Centenary Year of the Teresian Association and he desired to meet with the members and acknowledge the work that we do and encourage our presence in the society. Accordingly a programme was planned on 23rd March 2011 with a Eucharistic celebration and fellowship.
All the ACIT and core members from Pune were present for this meeting with the Bishop. He greeted each member and appreciated all the work that we do in the different parishes. He also showed a great interest in our involvement with inter-religious dialogue.
We then had a fellowship meal and wound up, assuring the Bishop of our continued support in the diocese and he promised to invite all of us for the Inter-religious session planned by him during the Holy week in April 2011.
